The ROM change would have reset any software issue and you have checked the connections, so I''m afraid it does sound like a hardware fault. I presume the backlight never comes on and you see ?? nothing on screen?
Perhap there are others who have experienced this?
Mike

yea the backlight never comes on but i dont see my today screen and stuff i can still use it but its preeetty hard using it without the backlight haha. hopefully someone has the same problem and fixed it. i hope its not the hardware.... thanx for the reply thought i was going to be left alone hahah

can anyone help me??? or has a solution to this problem??

i just put in a order for another screen hopefully its the screen that is defective....

The main backlight is generated in a pcb of the Flash unit(camera flash). It´s located inside of the rear case, and have a small screw that the subject one to the internal antenna. This pcb have a connector in the under side. If this connector (or the complete pcb) is disconnected, removed, liquid damage or broken, the main backlight don´t works.

hardware button problem; button 2

the internet explorer iconed button, on the top left hand corner; Button 2
is kinda playing up
It seems it is almost permanently pressed, though it doesn't seem stuck, when it is enabled the shortcut program or function continues to run; e.g. pie keeps starting (I've tried changing the shortcut and there's the same effect on any function I set to the button)
I've done a hard-reset, changed rom, but it persists, so its definitely a hardware fault. The main problem with it is, even if I minimize PIE for example, the hardware buttons remain unusable unless i unassign everything from that button.
I've tried cleaning where i can etc. but to no avail
its not a huge problem, heck it doesn't really matter if I need to keep that button without function, its just one of those little annoying and niggly problems, and maybe someone else has had the same and found a solution
if not its ok, and thank for reading

The above picture shows the two micro-switches (Silver blocks with round black protrusions). It would be well nigh impossible to dismantle these - replacement may be possible, though I suspect you would only be able to buy the board complete.
You say you have tried cleaning. Do you mean externally or internally. It may be possible that the micro switch is not releasing due to a detritus build up internally or some misalignment of the pasic facia switch cover. The micr-switches even when pressed via the facia plastic should give a discernable soft click when pressed.
Mike

firstly thank you very much, for all your effor, its well appreciated my friend.
I've tried cleaning externally only and yes it probably is a buildup of dirt internally, but I don't think I'll be dismantling the device as its only a small proble, and once I've removed the assigned function from that button its not problematic. But if it gets worse, starts again etc. I'll have to, so thanks very much.
Thank you.

No probs. Might just start working again by itself if the blockage gets dislodged.
Mike

dead center... I've searched searched for a solution but haven found it-can you help?

Ok my screen works, alignment is whack because the CENTER of screen doesnt work. I have seen a few people have had same problem but saw no results that worked. so open invitation to those that are skilled.
KJAM with WM6
Problem: the exact center of the screen does not work, its about exactly 1 centimeter to each extreme. on screen alignment it takes about 10 tries to finally exit alignment mode, *i dont know if its tired of trying to align it, that it just gives up* but screen center still does not work. everything else is fine but it doesnt work.
Tested the problem: to see the exact affected area i went into notes with draw mode. i made tons of horizontal and vertical lines through the inner part of the screen to see which was th area that didnt work. and it looks like this.

I hope yall can help me. thanks.

Been having issues with the accelerometer

Just got my adam today....
Been having issues with the accelerometer seems like eveything in games or apps that use the function wants to go to the right..no other holding place works.. just veers sharp right. then when I twist it at around it will go the other way but then back to right if I keep turning it ...
also when I hold it with my left hand only in landscape mode you see a spot of pressure on the screen push in as if my pointer finger in the back is pushin on the screen.
any one have any ideas.. already have wiped and tried again still no luck
The crazy part is the homescreen (launcher pro) always orients the proper way all the way around.. but maybe its a different sensor .. i dont know.
EDIT: I ran the program on my G2 and the blue points up to sky, the green points the right and the red is pointing in my direction...
If there is no way to reset the center in that accelerometer than I might just have to send it back.
Below is when the tablet is on a flat service.. if anyone else can run Z-device test to see what it should be that would be awesome.. i need to know if I need to fix this or send it back

Also here is a video of me use the "Swing Ball" app which shows that the balls swing straight up.
They move recklessly when I move the tablet around.

i've been having the same issue, and a little poking around has not yet yielded a fix. i'm still looking, but if anyone else finds anything, it would be great to know

s7 Edge Bootloader Exception - Any key combination not working / cannot go to DL mode

Hi,
does anyone encounter this bootloader exception that has pure red letters (no greens like others) and any combination like Vol - plus home plus power ain't working and other key combination?
I also drained the battery and after plugging in, the bootloader exception just appears with other text but still pure red letters, still no response.
I cannot flash anything because I cannot enter download mode. Is there any way which I can do? Please see below for the reference picture.
(I have posted a new thread since the other thread has access on download mode and everything)

None. I went to service center and they said Main board has to be changed But I'm going to try some luck tomorrow to fix with the cheaper guys who will try to reprogram and will open the back to do some stuff. wish me luck

Any NEWS??

I have the same problem, but with i little different error error codes. Phone not responding whatever i press.

Damm, mine did this last night, i guess all contacts and everything is lost now

So, i just got the phone from warranty service and they replaced motherboard, so it means that this was hardware problem.
